GeoMonday the 2nd – Talk 2: Why less is more for mobile maps (and not necessarily so on the desktop)

Maps, users use on their computer, are built to remind of the traditional maps we’re used to for centuries. However with more and more geo-information available, mobile needs to present information in a different way. On the small screen maps need to be more focused, relevant and personalized.

In this talk Marin Todorov discusses how to better approach building mobile maps and applications featuring geo-information; how to make maps fit in smoothly in a user’s everyday mobile experience.

Marin will also showcase two iPhone apps from Berlin start-ups and how they use geo information to enrich their users‘ lives.
